Wow, so now flying in economy class is literally a danger to life and limb. The drama is escalating!
My point still stands: if you're incapable of functioning or doing your job after a long flight in Y, you should fly out a day earlier to allow rest. If you don't want to do that, you should find a job that doesn't require travel. There will be hundreds of people in line to replace you.
I realize many companies don't agree with this ethos, but I think this will be the new way of doing business sooner rather than later, when they realize the money that can be saved. You don't see Cisco struggling to attract talent.
